- Finished - please read the closing note at the end.
- DISCLAIMER!
- This is not a certified guide, it is a compilation of resources found over the internet to help those who want help developing their voice and/or singing skills.
- If you feel any type of discomfort, pain, scratchy feeling, or that there is too much pressure on your neck/throat during practice, stop and take a break. Everything that is mentioned here should feel natural, like mentioned already, if it doesn't feel normal, you're doing it wrong, if you feel pain later, you're doing it wrong, if you feel discomfort somewhere, you're doing it wrong. Go back, study more, and try again, don't risk an injury.
- Take care of your voice when practicing, warm up properly before each session, follow the tips regarding vocal health and vocal hygiene. Having a sore throat is different than having a tired throat, the first is an example of a mistake, the second one can be the results of your training. Your throat can never be worse, if you're feeling like that, stop and do things differently.
- There is nothing wrong with being unable to teach yourself these skills. You're more than welcome to do your own research and studies or to find a real teacher/course from a more careful and proper learning experience.

- These are the basic videos to watch, it covers, albeit roughly, the important points. There are several channels feature in this pastebin, you can freely choose which one will be your main guide, the ones presented in here are some of which I liked the most and think are worth checking out, but you're free to give the other ones a try, they were added for that reason after all.

- Your vocal development will be done through practice and exercises, remember to ALWAYS warm up before using your voice (this includes talking on stream as well), don't forget to set a routine and follow through with it.
- Specific techniques and general development (such as singing with emotion) are not included in this guide, you will have to look through them according to your interests.
- Note: If you want to learn about music theory and other related subjects, those won't be covered, check /classical/ or /prod/ for that.
- *Important* - I see a lot of channels that have reaction content to songs/singers made by voice coaches, professional musicians, are they any good for learning? The short answer is, it depends. Some of them are very good, for example, The Charismatic Voice, by Opera Singer and Vocal Coach Elizabeth Zharoff, and Kardavox Academy, by Metal Vocalist Mark Garrett. Both of them do good analysis of technique (and also offer their own courses), explaining how the sound is formed/achieved, albeit not in an extremely detailed way since that wouldn't be as profitable for them. However they offer a lot of good knowledge on their videos. All in all, those types of reaction channels are good complementary resources, but sometimes you're better off not even watching them (trust me, some of them are pretty bad and would just be a detriment to your learning experience).
- - A bit of the basics -
- Vocal Anatomy 101 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVZ73GnKyN8
- This is a small introduction to some concepts involving Vocal Anatomy, very quick video that can give a help starting out. This is a recommended video to watch.
- The Voice Foundation Articles
- https://voicefoundation.org/health-science/voice-disorders/anatomy-physiology-of-voice-production/
- https://voicefoundation.org/health-science/voice-disorders/anatomy-physiology-of-voice-production/understanding-voice-production/
- https://voicefoundation.org/health-science/voice-disorders/anatomy-physiology-of-voice-production/the-voice-mechanism/
- https://voicefoundation.org/health-science/voice-disorders/anatomy-physiology-of-voice-production/breakdowns-result-voice-disorders/
- These are articles that focus more on how the body produces the voice, it's also a good ready for vocal anatomy and it brings the definition of many terms; the articles are short and should be a very fast read. I recommend reading this.
- The Mechanism of the Human Voice by Emil Behnke - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/30889
- A very good book with a lot of information on vocal anatomy. It has many images and quite a bit of detailed explanations. This book can be quite dense and I would suggest going through it slowly rather than rushing it, even though it's quite small. Though, if you feel like you can do it, be my guest. Be of note, this is a book originally released in 1880, this is a revised version from 2010. I recommend reading this.
- Voice, Song, and Speech: A practical guide for singers and speakers by Lennox Browne and Emil Behnke - https://files.catbox.moe/vh408i.pdf
- Just like Behnke's other book presented before, this one brings a lot on vocal anatomy but it also goes into vocal cultivation. This book is bigger (not to the point of being a big book since its only 350 pages) but it's still denser than his other book, considering his coauthor, a surgeon. The vocal cultivation part is an important read, and considering it tackles vocal anatomy as well, you can read only this one if you don't feel like reading both, or just reading the vocal cultivation part if you already read the other one and don't feel like revising it. I recommend reading this.
- The Voice: Its Production, Care and Preservation by Frank E. Miller - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/30854
- This book also brings in the subject of vocal anatomy but it tackles points such as breathing and vocal care and hygiene. This book was made by one of the leading doctors in New York specialists on throat, nose and ear, who also tended for the Manhattan Opera House. Although some books are old, like Behnke's (this one is from the early 1900s), they were written by people with great knowledge about the body and the singing mechanism. For you to understand your body, how it behaves, and, therefore, how to take care of it, these are very important. And so, I will recommend reading this.
- Theodore Dimon - Anatomy of the Voice: An Illustrated Guide for Singers, Vocal Coaches, and Speech Therapists - https://files.catbox.moe/o46xe9.epub
- This is not a very long book and it doesn't bring new things per se but it is from 2018, and if you feel insecure reading old books, you can give this one a try. In my opinion, it's not a bad book but it should be coupled with at least one of the other anatomy books. I firmly believe that having different authors always bring more ways to grasp concepts, although it's something very objective like anatomy, the way of writing can make a great difference in learning, and to avoid mistakes, it's better to visit different authors. Therefore, I will recommend reading this BUT only if you are interested in learning more about vocal anatomy, otherwise I would say skimming it is good enough (considering you already learned vocal anatomy).
- Voice Production in Singing and Speaking by Wesley Mills - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/19880
- Yet another book by a doctor, who was also a lecturer on vocal physiology and hygiene in the McGill University Conservatory of Music, in Montreal, Canada. His book doesn't go as deep on the anatomy part as the others but it brings enough information for one to understand how everything works, he focus heavily on the larynx but there is also quite a bit of information on breathing (with exercises to help strengthen all muscles involved), as well as sound production. A very good read. I recommend reading it.
- Resonance in Singing and Speaking by Thomas Fillebrown - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/19138
- Also a great book, this one focus heavily on the sound production as well, leaning on resonance. It contains breathing exercises and techniques to help as well. It's a good book to start exploring the voice and understanding its placement, especially how to make use of resonance (plenty of exercises and experiments to be done). I recommend reading it.
- THE NASAL PASSAGE AND SOUND COLOUR IN SINGING: BETTER MAN THAN HE BY SIVU - http://completevocalcoach.com/the-nasal-passage-and-sound-colour-in-singing-better-man-than-he-by-sivu/
- This is a very interesting article, mostly because of the video it has in it (which is the biggest point in linking it), you can see everything moving while singing, and it's also very short, so it won't take much time. I recommend watching the video in this article (try to search for more on the same style if you feel like it will happen you understand better how everything works).
- Vocal Anatomy for Singers: Laryngeal Anatomy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q97tPOlIUkk
- Another short video on vocal anatomy, this one is more focused on the laryngeal area. Like the other video, it's very quick and not a complete guide but it's an interesting thing to watch to see if you understood what was learnt from the book, or to brush up a bit more on some concepts. I recommend watching since it's short.
- The New Voice How to Sing and Speak Properly by Alan Greene, Pamela Hyde, Susan Greene - https://files.catbox.moe/j81idt.pdf
- A very short book but with a total of 47 exercises, it doesn't anything new but it helps with revising the content of other books. I suggest reading it but I recommended skimming to see the exercises (give a brief read on the chapter to not do things incorrectly, for the love of God).
- The Voice Book: Caring For, Protecting, and Improving Your Voice by Kate DeVore, Starr Cookman - https://files.catbox.moe/lcobyq.pdf
- A very complete book on how to treat and improve your voice properly. Lots of exercises are included in this book as well. This is not only good for singing but also for general talking, it teaches you how to better use your voice without creating strain. Other than that it brings psychological aspects into account as well with behavior and certain medical conditions such as asthma and anxiety. I recommend reading this.
- Breath in Action: The Art of Breath in Vocal and Holistic Practice by Jane Boston, Jane Boston, Rena Cook - https://files.catbox.moe/4tzz8v.pdf
- Breathing, breathing, breathing. That's all this book is about. A book by many authors with multiple concepts involving breathing. It's a very interesting read and it contains a few exercises here and there, however, it's not obligatory. It's very dense and text heavy so it might be quite difficult to grasp some parts of it. Not a recommended book, if you want to give it a try it will be beneficial but it's not necessary.
- The New Science of Controlled Breathing, Vol. 1 (of 2) by Edward Lankow - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/61944
- The New Science of Controlled Breathing, Vol. 2 (of 2) by Edward Lankow - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/61945
- This is not a super important read, it's interesting since it brings a different way to observe breathing and a different technique. It's extremely short and doesn't have in-depth knowledge, you can read it if you have the spare time and are interested. I do not consider this a must read, do it if you want.
- Complete Vocal Fitness A Singer’s Guide to Physical Training, Anatomy, and Biomechanics by Claudia Friedlander - https://files.catbox.moe/ugty8d.epub
- A very interesting read about your body and how of it affects your singing, it has exercises to keep yourself fit for singing. It's not very long and if you want to pick up on some tips, as well as general knowledge on it, it's worth the read. I will suggest reading this book if you're interested on the topic and want to add to your health as well.
- Caruso and Tetrazzini on the Art of Singing by Enrico Caruso and Luisa Tetrazzini - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/20069
- An excellent book by two great and notable singers. Differently from the books on anatomy that focus on mechanical aspects, these were made by actual singers, and they present essential points that a singer needs to know. This is most definitely a recommended read.
- Advice to Singers by Frederick James Crowest - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/41013
- A short but very well put together book containing mainly what it says, advice for singers. It tackles habits as well as choice in music. Aside from a few bits of anatomy that you might not want to read if you already read other books, or that you should read in case you didn't, it brings a lot of attention to the musical aspect of singing and plenty of practice and exercises to help on development. A recommended read.
- The Psychology of Singing by David C. Taylor - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/21957
- This book is interesting since it brings a "critique" of methods and does a colder analysis of tradition and modernity. Couple that with explanations and exercises for practice, you have a good manual on your hands. I will recommend this book as well, however, if you do not want to read it all, read at least Parts I and IV.
- - Books worth reading -
- Style in Singing by W. E. Haslam - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/214003
- As the name suggests, it's a book that mainly talks about style, that includes explanations involving colour, accent, intensity, phrasing , portamento, and tempo variations. It's a great for learning about singing with emotion, creating your personal style or at the very least allowing you to go out of the ordinary. I recommended read considering the book is very short.
- The Boy's Voice by J. Spencer Curwen - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/32023
- A book focused on the teaching of choir boys, considering the unique aspects of their voices. Interesting to read but not necessary in the least.
- The Child-Voice in Singing by Francis E. Howard - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/22581
- Similar to the last book, it's mostly focused on the voice of children. Same as above, interesting but not necessary.
- Seed Thoughts for Singers by Frank Herbert Tubbs - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/37662
- Several tips for singers that go from actual singing advice to audition advice. I would suggest reading if you have interest on more tips, it's not necessary to do so though.
- Vocal Mastery by Harriette Brower - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/15446
- Think of the book by Tubbs but add that the tips are from accomplished opera singers. It's a good book to read but only if you are interested on the tips, otherwise, you can follow through without reading it.
- Great Singers on the Art of Singing by James Francis Cooke - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/33358
- It follows the same style as Brower's book however it's denser but I would strongly recommend reading this book over the other if you have interest in one of them since the tips presented here are less general and more focused on the voice, singing, practice, and preparation. Recommended but not necessary.
- How to Become a Successful Singer by Butt, Caruso, Davies, and Melba - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/52674
- Four short texts with tips. Short but solid advice. I will recommend reading this purely based on how short it is.
- What Every Singer Should Know by Millie Ryan - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/32602
- Feeling like you shouldn't bother trying to learn to sing? Read this, honestly. Read this excerpt at least:
- "[...] The power to win is yours—determine to succeed and you cannot fail.
- In order to make a success of anything, you must give it your undivided attention, and while doing so, your aim must be fixed constantly on the goal which you desire to attain. Rome was not built in one day, neither can the elementary training of a voice be accomplished in a year. [...]
- [...] You must have confidence in yourself if you want others to have confidence in you.
- Never lose your temper. [...] Don't expect to grasp, assimilate and put into practice in one lesson what it has taken years for your teacher to accomplish.
- I remember one pupil who said her purse would not allow anything better than a hall room in New York for a whole winter's study, and that she really had no "chance" to practice, as her room was too small. This was a very poor excuse, as that was merely one obstacle to be overcome.
- The artists who have reached the top are those who have had innumerable obstacles to overcome. [...]"
- This is merely the first page of the book. It contains some singing aspects that go beyond techniques, and there are some exercises and extra tips and helpful advice. As the author herself says: "This book is not for the purpose of instruction in singing, as singing is an art which cannot be taught from book or correspondence. Neither is it a technical treatise on the voice, but instead I aim through the medium of my book to have a "heart-to-heart" talk with the beginner, and with those who contemplate the study of voice culture. Books abounding in technical terms are valueless to a beginner, and the finished artist does not need such a book. There are many valuable books published, but very few which are written in a manner simple enough for the beginner to grasp. I wish to give all the valuable 'hints' and 'helps' that it has taken years of experience to gather, covering all the questions that are absolutely necessary to know, making it brief, simple and understandable."
- I can't stress enough how the first chapters are very much needed for anyone that has problems with themselves. I recommend reading this book.
- The Renaissance of the Vocal Art by Edmund J. Myer - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/12856
- An interesting read that brings many aspects already tackled in different books. Still, it follows what I mentioned before, different authors have different insights. Skim it to see if you like his style and read it if you want. It's simply a suggested read, not a recommended one.

- - Techniques and Practice -
- GENERAL
- This section is destined for more general guides, lessons, tips, singers, and teachers that have a more "general" feel to it, they talk about singing as a whole and almost always clean singing, a great part of the videos here deal with fundamentals and learning the how to use and improve the voice.
- Michael Trimble - https://www.youtube.com/user/Tenoretrimble/
- Great videos on various techniques, about correcting your posture and overall tips for better singing. He has experience with opera but everything in his videos can be useful in different styles or just to work on your speech/voice in general.
- But who exactly is Michael Trimble? According to his Wikipedia page, Trimble: "[...] is an American operatic tenor, voice teacher, and writer on music. He had an active international career singing leading roles with opera houses during the 1960s and 1970s. His singing career was cut short due to health concerns. [...] Several of his students have had successful international opera careers, including Metropolitan Opera star Tonio di Paolo and soprano Beverly Hoch."
- As it can be seen, he is an accomplished singer and has practical knowledge about what he does. His methods are purely traditional Italian opera singing, his references are the big names of opera, and therefore everything he teaches ends up being related to breathing, that's his technique, using your breath to sing, forgetting everything from the neck and above (the invisible throat, mouth and other things he mentions in numerous videos). For him, that's the real way to sing, focused on the Bel Canto techniques, just like other great singers do and did.
- Remember that not everything he teaches might be for you since he focuses on opera, but it is worth it to look at his videos because they can enrich your singing, or simply help you in having a healthier speaking voice.

- This video is very interesting to watch since at the 3:16 mark Trimble makes a mistake while singing, and one comment points it out, and he replies to it with an explanation. I will leave it here but I recommend watching to recognize one of the possible problems one might have when singing.
- Original comment:
- Hello Maestro, Thank you so much for all your videos! You are the most precise Bel Canto teacher on the Internet. A true inspiration for singer like myself who thought opera was not made for them.
- Quick question: what causes the sound at @3:16? Is that a strain? No criticism at all in my question, but I often have this kind of sound and I cannot identify what needs to be fixed (throat release, leaning of the breath, etc...)
- Many thanks for everything you do!
- Trimble's response:
- Mel, that sound at 3:16 is what happens at age 82 (in my case), or to anyone of a younger age, if the breath slips off the diaphragm for an instant while singing any note in any range. That is the bad news! The good news is that i was not holding anything in my throat or tongue or jaw to catch the mistake before or when it happened. I was trained to never hold anything in the throat or tongue or jaw, regardless of the possible result if the breath is not organized properly. I did not warm up the voice, and that is usually a mistake unto itself, as was demonstrated clearly by me. I sing and teach all day and never have a vocal problem because i have never used my throat or tongue or jaw muscles in a tense or flexed state to maintain form.. So, i decided to leave the video with the evidence that i am trying to show the young singers about the basics of the old "Bel Canto" vocal approach. The first rule of the Bel Canto vocal style is NO ACTION IN THE THROAT. Rule number two is "NO CHANGE OF EMISSION". I failed to sustain rule number two and "paid the price". The phlegm did not help, but is is never an excuse. If i lose the "Lean of the Breath" for an instant , and there are no active muscles in the throat to compensate, the vocal folds simply lose the continuous sustaining process that they require in order to leave the throat entirely free, without tension of any kind. A crack or slip or something will definitely happen if the breathing is not sufficient or smoothly produced. I have always comforted myself (rationalized?!) by reading about Caruso's tendency to "crack" the high notes. When he began his career, he "cracked" so often that he was known as the "glass tenor". The good news was that his throat was totally free and did not flex in any way to "secure" the high notes (or any note). But look what happened to his career when he finally got his voice (breathing, appoggio, emission) under control! And, as the legend goes, he was still cracking his high notes in 1918 in Havana at age 45 (he wrote to his wife that he had "cracked the high note last night and all of Havana is talking about it" In his book, he said to "maintain the open throat with the power of the respiration". I hope this answers your question. i am not proud that I have cracked a note., but i will never resort to flexing muscles in my throat to try to secure any note. Maybe that is why i can still sing all day every day at my age. Move over La Forese and Kazlovsky! i"m on my way to join your very exclusive club! All the best to you and breathe deeply instead of flexing any muscles in the throat, tongue or jaw. "Don't do as i do! Do as I say do". ciao for now, Michael

- Trimble's videos were many and totally unorganized, and his lessons focus so much on fundamentals that they serve a general purpose rather than a specific one, that's why he gets a bit separated from the others. The other channels have either less videos to organize or already provide playlists. There might be some overlap on playlists, since I'm using the ones already created by the teachers, I'm doing this mostly so I do not have to keep them myself on an account, and new videos will be added directly there (probably). Do keep in mind that the playlists sometimes don't cover the entire channel, if you like any of them be sure to check their other videos since some could be useful and/or uncatalogued. Also, I am aware that some of them go through the same topics, pick the one that you prefer.

You might have to check his channel out since some videos are not included in the playlists. Chuck is an avid fan of Seth Riggs, the so called father of Speech Level Singing (SPS), and has an entire playlist focused on him that will be linked as the last one (for more information on SPS please read the book Singing for the Stars, by Seth Riggs [https://files.catbox.moe/wfuy34.pdf this book has 2 CDs with audios to guide the exercises but I have been only able to find https://soundcloud.com/music-lover-394698553 with a few of them, you can probably find replacements on other resources placed here but the book is a good read as well]).

- Not one of my favorites but he has two small playlists that go over vocal breaks and head/chest/mixed voice, with some tips mixed in there, they're not overly long so it's not a bad addition to this pastebin. He has more videos but I didn't particularly like his style.

- His focus in on classical but I like to bring in everything that I can find, the lessons are interesting, and he touches on the subject of high notes as well (soprano lessons playlist), the vocal warm ups are very nice as well.

- Roger Hale - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyrpCduEp6H61SvacMtq3dw
- He doesn't have much stuff aside from a series of small videos, which are mainly vocal warm up sessions that he recorded while teaching, a few tips are mixed in, but this is mainly for warming up your voice.
- VOCAL WARM UP - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnJW-8a26OA&list=PLxfJURRxSlEb9Tyq_OCuLqsdgfgW2K7Ms
- Jacobs Vocal Academy - https://www.youtube.com/c/JacobsVocalLessons
- This is a fairly big channel and they sell their own courses (and offer videos for members -- if you are interested in that consider a VPN to try it out). Their free playlists are only about exercises, with three levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). There are some other exercises, however all theory is behind a paywall. Their exercises are available on Spotify as well.

- I decided to leave the exercises that needed a SOVT Straw aside from the first list, but if you have interest in them please refer to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT9vHCMPW2g and follow their playlists in case you want to try. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HraRBzEG6sk&list=PLjumkJUG-60Ioh5xWWHQ0FIUwL5OIwr99.
- If you plan on using a regular straw, take note of some of the videos that answer questions (last few videos on the playlist).
- Berklee Online - https://www.youtube.com/c/berkleemusic
- A very big course on music in general, unfortunately they only have a single short playlist for singing, it's good stuff, and it briefly explains some important concepts, it's a good idea to check it out.

- How to sing with emotion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFw4pCBPOf4
- How to sing with emotion [different person] - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdbaRF7iRaQ
- [Emotion in singing is closely related to the texture you add through techniques, learn and use them wisely. Don't forget about adjusting your own body, quite like in acting] Acting Lessons Emotions- The Three Pillars of Emotion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJhS9G8JEQo

- HOW TO SING WITH MORE EMOTION (Feel the Music) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCW5KyR_xCk
- All of these should be completely self-explanatory but in case they aren't, it's about fueling more emotion, creating more feelings with singing, learning about how your tone, tension, diction, and other aspects can affect your singing. All videos are quite short, there's no reason to watch different takes on it. Watch all. The lesson is 3 minutes long but it's basically to point one thing, you act (or sing) with your whole body, and to fuel emotions you should use your entire body to express them while singing.
- Please refer to Trimble's videos on emotion as well.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- HARSH VOCALS
- Please be sure you have the basics down already for these techniques, if you can't properly make a clean sound don't try harsher ones just yet, or at least go easy with the distortion.
- Riff Shop (Scream Academy) - https://www.youtube.com/c/RiffShop
- Videos focused on screaming, more on how to learn, a good place to start. The first video on the first playlist has a link to a free course to teach you how to "find your screaming voice", a bit exaggerated, yes, but it was a pretty decent video lesson but to have access to it you need to use a name and an e-mail (I used fake ones, it worked without any problems), at least until I find easier ways to share.

- David Benites (Extreme Vocal Institute) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcwi3nbrAzTuvnheiqaFVtg

- The playlist shared here has several videos on techniques, with tips, and also voice care. His channel has covers, a "How to sing like X" series, the fry section is in the "Free Lessons" playlist but will be available under it in case you have no interest on his other lessons.

- NOTE: The first three playlists have a lot of overlapping videos, but a few that are missing from the free voice lessons are in the others. If you wish to watch more of his videos, skim through and watch what interests you the most. He was not added to the "other channels" section because his content is a bit all over the place and doesn't as much guidance for someone barely starting (a few videos treat some concepts like opent throat and others but you can find much more on that), my main interest on him is for harsher vocals.
- Matt (Sibila Extreme Vocal Center) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYHRjMfNoDR6Kfv07_Ucp8w
- Polish, specialized in harsh vocals or, as the channel name says, extreme vocals. Many videos on a few techniques, he also has covers but those don't have educational purposes other than checking the application of the techniques. The playlists come in two languages, English and Polish, in case you want to practice another language while you're at it (some playlists have videos in Polish, those should all have subtitles in English at the very least).

- He has a lot of work involving heavier genres, he doesn't have lessons per se but his videos are informative enough to give a few insights and solve questions you might have. As always, be sure to check the vocal health tips since they're always the most important thing to keep in mind. His "How to sing like" series is especially useful to understand better how to make certain sounds. His reaction videos are good as well.

- Jared Dines - https://www.youtube.com/c/JaredDinesDjents
- Not much available in regards to learning, but lots of covers, videos and reactions, the videos about learning to scream are very short so don't rely on them as a main material. He has a few videos about instruments as well, in case you're interested check his playlists.

- RAPPING
- This section is dedicated to exercises and techniques that can help you rap better, but if I'm being honest, there is a clear lack of content about rapping, voice-wise. For lyrics and rhymes, you have plenty of content, as well as making beats, but there is very little on breathing techniques and ways to improve how you deliver your lines, your diction, how fast you're able to go, and other things related to that. I selected what I thought it was genuinely useful (which wasn't much), so if you want to get better at rapping, remember to focus on breathing and articulation, and practice/experiment on your own to be able to cover/sing whatever you want.
- Cole Mize - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYLIQda59SREWHukEgrZlUw
- The videos can be cringy at times but he explains things well, and in an educational way. You can take a lot from what he presents on his videos, albeit it doesn't have much for breathing and articulation, it is possible to get a good grasp on how a rap goes, and from that rapping something becomes much easier. He has two main playlists, both very technical, but one focus more on structure, the other on the act of actually rapping. I highly encourage you to go through his videos.

- Improve Your Voice (Darren McStay) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS7kHEzoKbWgUEG3g1-vAeg
- He works with voice coaching and is a singer. He has several videos entirely based on speaking, enunciation, tones, which are great for singing and speaking in general, but I decided to place him here on the rapping section purely because of his videos on articulation. He has one main playlist with basically all his videos on voice but I will add the most important videos under the playlist in case you are not interested in checking his content.
- WARM UPS (he has more on the main playlist but I decided to add this one just in case) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88hCbuozLjs&list=PLGr1rfyxOIcVBqYYIluOKzj1UxDhNzQR8

- EXTRA RESOURCES
- This part of the pastebin will be dedicated to more miscellaneous resources that don't fit specifically in any other category
- Charlie Calotta (BigBrainSinger) - https://www.twitch.tv/charliecalotta or https://www.youtube.com/c/BigBrainSinger/
- He is, first and foremost, a Twitch streamer, his Youtube channel consists mostly of reaction videos (that are made from his streams), which can be useful in their own accord but not the main point of his addition to the pastebin.
- As a professional opera singer (as well as vocal coach), he does dedicated content on things related to it (singing), offers free lessons for his viewers (that are part of his content), and has a Discord with a lot of discussion related to singing.
- He seems like a very approachable guy, and his content doesn't seem bad from what I checked.
- Floor Jansen (Nightwish) - https://www.youtube.com/c/FloorJansenOfficial
- There is no need to say much about her, she only has a few videos on singing, but they're excellent resources.
- Floor Jansen's Masterclass (playlist) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=027e4d2Rz4A&list=PL8iSYWeQhlimFtzJmt5j6Y2NEw30B7S7v&index=4
- National Center for Voice and Speech (NCVS) - https://www.youtube.com/user/NCVS456
- A more informative channel, they have a good video on straw exercises, and the physiology playlist is extremely short but worth the watch.

- He has a series of playlist on singing, vocal care, and a few tips on vocal hygiene that can be quite useful. It isn't anything that other channels didn't bring, but it's still another option.

- CLOSING NOTE
- Ok, now what? Practice.
- Is this pastebin ever going to be updated again? Maybe, if I find good resources. So I can only say I'm not entirely sure but who knows, I might add things related to acting/improv/comedy.
- What about this or that technique? There probably wasn't any good video on it. If you are interested in taking this more seriously, my biggest recommendation is finding an actual course so you can have a professional guide you personally. This "singing guide" is merely a collection of books and videos for you to start developing your singing/voice, think of it as a helpful resource for building the foundations of your singing.
- Should I buy the courses from the people here? I have no idea, I simply liked their videos, but I am not a costumer to say if the experience is good, or if they are caring and open to answer your questions.
- What if I need to contact you? Send me a message here, since I might check the account every now and then.
- Making this pastebin was quite a bit of work. Although I wasn't able to add as much as I hoped, there isn't enough content available for free, and even then I didn't feel comfortable adding stuff I disliked, since those are my recommendations to someone that wants to start singing and develop their skills.
- Even if it was focused on singing, this contains many resources that are useful for speakers in general. Biggest examples are some of the books (like Voice, Song, and Speech), a few videos from Michael Trimble, and almost all videos from Improve Your Voice (Darren McStay), which has a whole carreer based on that. So even if you're not interested in singing, some of the contents can be useful for daily life and streaming.
- Good luck, and remember to take care of your voice, since I didn't add all those vocal health tips for nothing.
